Verse
G C
I was watching a movie the other night on T. V.
G C
The actress reminded me of you
G D
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
Em C
She was doing a part girl, like you used to do
G C
I do believe you played it better
G C
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
G D
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
Em C
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong
Get in there!
G C
I heard you married a stranger
G C
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
G D
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
Em C
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
G C
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
G C
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
G D
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
Em C
A good Catholic girl during the day
C D G G/F# Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C D G G/F# Em
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C D G G/F# Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C D G
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn't even know ya
Verse
G C
Well I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
G C
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
G D
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
Em C
I can see now we were no more than friends
G C
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
G C
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
G D
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
Em C
As it seemed like it was to me
C D G G/F# Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C D G G/F# Em
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
C D G G/F# Em
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
C D
If I saw you today
C D
Girl, if I could be with you today
Em
I wouldn't even know ya
